This patch was so bittersweet for me. I had racked up quite the RP-enhanced reputation on my server as a fun person to play with, if I do say so myself, in Warsong gulch as well as AV. I always took charge and assigned roles (I loved doing defense, so it was easy "you all smash da alliance, I gotcha backs, mon!") in character, in accent, and people worked together, good times enhanced by the good impression that comes from opening a BG by saying positive, welcoming things. Sure, the queue times were cumbersome (not so much horde side), and the patch fixed that, but that was the only positive. A big, game-changing positive, yes, but I'll never forget the times people would come to me admitting they had been GY camping and were sorry, and my troll gal would browbeat them into realizing the error of their ways. I, and the core I met in BGs, were known for putting the RP meaning back into the term "honourable kill", and I remember getting mail from horde alts of allies I'd salute and battle in single combat in the flag room.

If anyone from oldschool Thorium Brotherhood-US reads this, just know that Reyanne, that crazy troll shaman, will never forget you all, both those I fought with, and against! :)
